MA voids Gibran’s high school equivalency letter on appeal
The full ruling cites no proof of a high school-equivalent diploma and treats the Oct. 5, 2026 MK ruling as new legal ground.
Mahkamah Agung has published the full text of its cassation ruling No. 742 K/TUN/2026, which nullifies the high school education equivalency certificate for Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. The decision, dated Oct. 30, 2026, granted the lawsuit filed by M Subhan and ordered the Director General of Primary and Secondary Education to revoke Suket No. 9149/D.D1/KS/2019 dated Aug. 6, 2019. In its considerations, the court cited Constitutional Court Decision No. 01/PHPU.PRES-XXIV/2026 on Oct. 5, 2026 as a new legal fact that changed the legal situation. The court also found that documents such as a certificate of attendance, academic records and an explanation of grades showed only participation in college classes, not proof of completing a certain level of education. The panel said there was sufficient reason to grant the cassation and set aside objections about the filing deadline.
